Spotify has TWO HOBOES recorded by the Journeymen on the album "Capitol Collectors Series." I listened, and the lyrics sound exactly like those that Peace posted back on 25 Feb 2005. It also has this version: TWO HOBOES Lawrence Gellert / Dick Weissman As sung by Judy Roderick on "Woman Blue" (1965, reissued 2006) Railroad looks so pretty Boxcars on the track Yonder stands two hoboes Their rucksack on their back And it's oh, babe, no home, babe When you ride the railroad It's hard to heed [or "keep"?] the law Rode all the way from New Orleans Trouble's all they saw And it's oh, babe, no home, babe Worked on a Georgia road crew Ninety days in the county jail Broke away 'bout the break o' day Trouble bound to find their trail And it's oh, babe, no home, babe Clothes all torn and ragged No one knows their name Must have traveled through a thousand towns When you're broke, they all look the same And it's oh, babe, no home, babe Oh, babe, no home, babe
